This Meijer hypermarket store was opened in 1988 and closed in June 2016. The inside signs appear to date to the 1990s while the varying ceilings in different parts of the store are original. Newer and remodeled Meijer stores have an open ceiling storewide. I wish I had more interior photos of the store and I sadly missed the grocery section completely. The store is being converted into offices for Huntington Bank.
Here are some older pictures I took of the exterior of this store. www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=71978807%40N03&sort=da...

During the recent lockdown I decided to visit the recently opened AEON Big supermarket nearest to my home.
For those who haven't heard of AEON, it is a huge corporation in Japan which runs a chain of hypermarkets and even provides credit and financing.
While this outlet isn't the largest AEON Big that I've ever been to, it's certainly much better than the previous Cold Storage supermarket which closed down a few years ago.
Salmon is my most favorite fish and I usually have it raw, sashimi style. I fell in love with Japanese cuisine back in the year 2000, when my supervisor invited me to a Japanese restaurant (a prospective business manager, who was lobbying my supervisor, paid for the dinner).
I ended up buying a while salmon fish and donated half of it to my sister. 😊
GUM, Moscow, Russia.
GUM in Moscow Kremlin Directly opposite the Mausoleum, on the eastern side of the square, lies the building which houses Russia's most famous shopping mall - the State Department Store, GUM. Since the fall of communism, several other shopping centers and hypermarkets have sprung up to rival it in prestige, but GUM retains its status as a consumer Mecca for visitors to Moscow. In the Soviet Union, the top floor was home to Section 100, a secret clothing store only open to the highest echelons of the party. Nowadays the rows of exclusive boutiques are accessible to anyone with a platinum card. That said, the building itself is glorious, and there are still a few more interesting relics of a bygone era on the higher floors that make it well worth exploring.

A very nice looking Super Kmart Center store. This was the time Kmart was making their super centers a whole different look, almost to like Walmart's size of supercenters. Sadly it closed in 2009 and briefly became a Sears Outlet. Now an At Home store.
The photo shows when it was under liquidation.

Carrefour Voorhees, NJ circular cover from 1993. This was a smaller version of the European-owned Carrefour Hypermarket in northeast Philadelphia. I only remember going here once, I remember the workers there were on roller skates and them having items that you wouldn't ordinarily find in a supermarket. They had a big electronics and small appliance section.

1st Avenue Mall Penang is a multi-level shopping mall in the heart of George Town, Penang.
The name "1st Avenue" is derived from Magazine Road, which is known as the first avenue or street in the Seven Streets Precinct of George Town.
Commercial space at 1st Avenue Mall is spread over seven levels.
The eighth floor, billed Cloud Eight, has an open viewpoint of the city of George Town.
At time of opening, the mall had Parkson Department Store as the anchor tenant. And there is a Carrefour Hypermarket as well now.

This Meijer hypermarket (aka Supercenter) store opened in late 2009. This store is 192,000 square feet. Menards was supposed to build next door to this Meijer but postponed plans for their 162,000 square foot store in 2009 and officially cancelled the project in 2012. A nearby Walmart Supercenter opened earlier in 2009 and closed in January 2016.
I believe the big box retailers were overly ambitious when they built up at the intesection of U.S. 23 and Highland Road. Due to the recession, a lot of developement due to happen around this intesection never happened. Target doesn't seem to be doing that well either here. Meijer is the only store that looked like it was doing well in the area. Then again, the Meijer locations around here seem distributed weirdly. There are three Meijer stores on Highland Road within 20 miles of each other yet Fenton (a decent sized city to the north) does not have a Meijer. Both Walmart and Target have stores in Fenton though, so I wonder how many people come from Fenton to go to the Hartland Meijer.

A former shoe store, abandoned for almost 30 years . The place surprises with its size (about 4000 m2) , which could be compareable to a hypermarket. Many decisions have been (unsuccessfully) taken by authorities since 2002 to force the owner to arrange the site, but the old shopping complex continues to degrade over time…
Un ancien magasin de chaussures, laissé à l'abandon depuis bientôt 30 ans. Le lieu surprend par sa superficie (environ 4000 m2), comparable à celle d'un hypermarché. Bien que de nombreuses mesures ont été prises (en vain) par les autorités depuis 2002 pour contraindre le propriétaire à arranger le site, l'ancien complexe commercial continue à se dégrader au fil du temps…
Not many of these friendly service, familyowned, high quality smallshops left anymore. Large hypermarkets have killed them one by one. This small grocery shop is owned by Palmen brothers. They've run the business there for almost 60 years and are famous for their excellent selection of meats and sausages. Both owners are over 60 years old. Not sure if there's anybody to continue the heritage, hopefully is.

On departing Blackpool's Talbot Road Bus Station, Blackpool Corporation Transport 390 (CFR590C), a Metro Cammell bodied Leyland PD3 makes it's way down Talbot Road, passed the Fine Fare Supermarket, before heading out towards Lytham St Anne's a little further down the coast.
Fine Fare was the name of a chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom until the late 1980s. It was famous for its Yellow Pack budget own-label range, probably one of the first store sub brands or tertiary brand names in the UK. The Melias chain of convenience stores was also part of the Fine Fare group.
The company was acquired by Associated British Foods in 1963 and Fine Fare's corporate headquarters were in Welwyn Garden City. Its market share was generally reported as being third behind Sainsurys and Tesco, who were No1 and No2 respectively.
In the mid-1980s, ABF sold the company to The Dee Corporation (then trading as Gateway, nowadays known as Somerfield) as one of a series of acquisitions Dee made around that time including the Woolco and Carrefour hypermarket chains. Following this, all Dee's newly-acquired stores were rebranded as Gateway or closed, and the Fine Fare name disappeared. Later some larger Gateway stores were bought by ASDA and were rebranded.

I magazzini Mas di Via dello Statuto, sono da sempre una istituzione per la città di Roma. Agli inizi del secolo portavano il nome di Magazzini Castelnuovo e già da allora cambiò la scena del commercio della Capitale.
Specializzato nell'abbigliamento e confezioni uomo, donna e bambino, jeans e moda giovane,intimo, biancheria, calzature uomo e donna offre da sempre il meglio a prezzi assolutamente concorrenziali . L’arredo dei locali e l’odore che si respira passeggiando nei corridoi e nei piani del magazzino è di altri tempi, in perfetto stile Amarcord.
Se Émile Zola avesse trascorso la sua vita a Roma probabilmente per il suo "Al paradiso delle Signore", si sarebbe ispirato ai magazzini Mas di Via dello Statuto. O meglio a quello che erano agli inizi del XX secolo, quando col nome di Magazzini Castelnuovo questo gigante dell’abbigliamento rappresentava il nuovo che avanzava nel commercio romano.
Ora, a distanza di oltre un secolo, i magazzini Mas rappresentano qualcosa di "unico", in questa Roma dove ormai ipermercati e centri commerciali sono ovunque, snaturando la vecchia anima della città.
All'interno dei magazzini Mas (1000mq.) non c’è alcuna modernità "ricercata" nell’arredo dei locali, sembra che il tempo si sia fermato, quasi a voler celebrare una Roma da vecchie pellicole. I cartelloni delle offerte sono ancora rigorosamente scritti a mano col pennarello come nelle bancarelle per strada delle quali non sembra proprio sentire la concorrenza visti i prezzi bassissimi.
Chi non ha ancora visitato questi grandi magazzini non potrà mai dire di conoscere veramente Roma.
The warehouses Mas Via the Statute , have always been an institution for the city of Rome. At the beginning of the century bore the name of Castelnuovo Warehouses and since then changed the trading scene of the capital.
Specializing in clothing and clothing for men, women and children, and young fashion jeans , underwear, lingerie , footwear for men and women has always been the best at extremely competitive prices. The decor of the rooms and the smell you breathe while walking in the corridors and floors of the warehouse is of another time , in perfect Amarcord .
If Émile Zola had spent his life in Rome, probably for his " On the paradise of God ," it would be inspired by the warehouses Mas Via Statute . Or rather to what they were in the early twentieth century, when the name of this giant clothing stores Castelnuovo represented the new advancing in Roman trade .
Now , after more than a century , the warehouses Mas represent something "unique " in this Rome, where he now hypermarkets and shopping centers are everywhere, distorting the old core of the city.
Inside the store (1000mq.) there is no modernity Mas " refined " In furnishing of the premises, it seems that time has stood still , as if to celebrate a Roma from old films . Billboards of the offers are still strictly handwritten with a marker such as street stalls of which does not seem to feel the competition given the very low prices.
Who has not visited these stores can never really claim to know Rome.

I am going to take a break from posting the rest of the Pittsburgh pictures for a while. I have to finish a post on the Century III Mall for Dead & Dying Retail and I generally don't post pictures used in posts on Flickr until after the post is published. I also don't want to spend too much time posting pictures from the same area or backlogged photos I took nearly a year ago. For the time being, I will be posting some more recent pictures from smaller trips I have taken.

An unidentified SNCF 140C 2-8-0 leaves a trail of black smoke as it reverses past the engine shed in Verdun. The adjacent goods depot was still busy with a variety of vans in the sidings and a crane. The steam loco is passing the small diesel yard shunter.
The river Meuse is off shot to the right and Verdun station to the left. The site of the depot today is occupied by a Leclerc hypermarket and car park. I like to think that the present-day Chemin du Depot is the original road to the shed although today it leads only to the truck delivery bays of the supermarket.
Explored July 30th, 2015!
This was originally a Bonwit Teller department store.
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

A late, Bristol-engined FLF Lodekka of the Bristol Omnibus Co. fleet seen in the Centre on Friday 29th August 1980. Unlike most of the Bristol city services at this date, the 79 had remained cross-city, so this vehicle must be awaiting a crew change. "The Centre" has always been an informal term; for bus crew relief purposes this was CA(W) ...Colston Avenue (West). The canteen and cash facilities were in the pink building in the right distance, once the Company's head office. I didn't altogether approve of the recently applied pastel colour-scheme, but this was one of the best-known groups of buildings in the city. Within a few years it had been demolished, probably condemned by the withering epithet "mock tudor" (though it was overlooked that the Victorian frontage concealed a genuinely old building) and rebuilt in the fraudulent retro manner on a steel frame with modern mass-produced bricks. The Company's activities transferred across the road to the Colston Centre.
I'm damned if I can remember where the other terminus of the 79 was ...i.e. where this bus had come from. Had it replaced one end of the old 12 or 42? Following the closure of Hanham Depot the route number was transferred to the Keynsham-Filton service, which we operated from Marlborough Street. The absence of Cave-Brown-Cave heating from these last BOC Lodekkas has vacated space for London-style advertisements on either side of the destination box. The Carrefour "hypermarket" at Cribbs Causeway was considered one of Bristol's wonders when it first opened. Its size and range are unremarkable today. It passed into Safeway ownership and is now an Asda-Walmart.
The sharp-eyed among you will have spotted the Robirch pie van, no doubt freighted with gristle-rich wares destined to spend the next few days, still cellophane-wrapped, under a warmer on the counter of the buffet at Temple Meads Station.

Northwestern exit from the city. Road E60, Cluj - Oradea - Bors, Romania - (Hungarian Border 150km) - Ártánd - Budapest, Hungary 420km - Wien, Austria 670km.
A very important road to most of us, the road that leads to the west, towards the free world (or at least so we were thinking back then), and towards Central European civilisation.
To the right there's the Cora hypermarket, one of my food sources, conveniently placed. Then there are freshwater lakes, well-guarded as they stand for one of the city's water reserves, with the river Somes (or Szamos in Hungarian) behind them.
On the left side, there's Autoworld, a Volkswagen dealer, Arabesque and Praktiker, two building materials and home improvement megastores. Then there is Metro, another wholesale-style hypermarket, and Polus Center, one of our two great shopping malls. (The other one is Iulius Mall, on the other side of the city, and then there's a third one coming soon as well.)
This is a typical cloverleaf interchange with two main roads, and eight collector / distributor (you can see 4 of them here) roads linking them in each possible direction. I'm standing on the upper road, which is ring-type road that runs around the western edge of the city.
So behind me there's this road with the bridge I'm standing on, and the main road that corsses underneath, and goes straight towards the heart of the city. You could say that Cluj is a city built around the European road E60.
I would have loved many more lights and stripes, but there was not much traffic, as it was around 23:00 PM on a Saturday night. I might redo this on a weekday right after dusk, and then you'll see the difference. ;)
I'm taking most of my shots in the evenings these days, and as darkness falls after 17-18 PM, there will be many long exposures, until spring will come.
Sometimes, in the summertime, you can see prostitutes on this bridge, close to where I stand. Police is chasing them away, but they return every now and then. Right now, with the January cold, there was no sign of them. I wouldn't have stopped near this road anyway, if there was anyone there.
15 seconds long exposure, tripod of course, from the upper road bridge above the leaf exit.
